Reflector Autobody Modification - Canada
Anyone get the reflector holes filled in and repainted by a body shop in Canada? How much did it costs? I just got qouted 1.6k which is just shy of buying a painted and shipped Euro Bumper from IND.

While it's nice to get rid of the reflectors, the price of either a new bumper or filling in the holes is just hard to justify. I'd rather just keep the stock paint intact. You don't have to worry about a paint match issue this way.

When I had my front bumper repainted because someone gouged it in a parking garage I paid 550 which included repainting my bumper and filling the holes in. That is steep

I've done this on my last 2 cars while molding my lip, shaving your reflector + repaint should not cost that much. $600-700 for a clean job, imo.
